SJRES 6 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Syria that have not been authorized by Congress.

SJRES 6 is a joint resolution requiring the removal of U.S. military forces from Syria within 30 days, unless Congress authorizes continued operations. It directly affects the approximately 2,000 U.S. troops currently deployed in Syria, targeting military operations not specifically authorized by Congress since the 2001 and 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) do not cover actions in Syria. The bill cites repeated U.S. airstrikes against Syrian forces, Iranian-backed militias, and other groups since 2014 as falling under the War Powers Resolution's definition of "hostilities" without proper authorization. The resolution directs the President to withdraw forces by the 30-day deadline, with no new military authorization required for the withdrawal itself.
